Hey guys, I spent the last days and today several hours to get it working.
I've got a problem with my USB stick, I can't access it, neither format it or do anything else with it. The system somehow recognizes it, but it shows only a ghost version of it (pic related, it's in german sorry, but you get the idea, it's /:f)
When I click it, it says no stick found, please insert it. When I take it out, the ghost disappears. The stick's LEDs blink continously and quick which usually indicates writing.
CHKDSK can't find my drive either and in the partitions it looks empty, however my PC recognizes the hardware as a Corsair USB Device so it can somehow communicate.
Tried a LOT of tips out there and literally none worked.
Just want to know if I can somehow rescue it, or if it's done for good, because that'd be a shame.
Never thought I'd say it, but you're my last hope friendos.
>more pics will be taken if requested.

Here in the partitions it doesn't appear up there but down in the list, it appears but seems to be empty or something.
It's a recent error and it always worked like a charm until one day.
I don't care if it's formatted, because there's only junk on it.
Also I'm open for any experimental solutions that might probably wreck the drive.
Tried at other ports with no success, any other USB devices work properly.

Try testdisk, if that can't fix your issue, then it's hopeless

Meh, it doesn't even appear on the screen.
Thanks for the response but maybe it's done, a damn shame, it wasn't too old but old enough to void the guarantee.

Same thing happened to me before (USB works, but no device attached to it). What fixed it was using a program called smi mptool to reflash the memory controller. The best thing to do is open up your pendrive and google the chip number to see what tool you can use.

Thanks anon, do you have a link or something? All I get are shad russian websites.
Also I can't really open it, it's encased in rubber all the way, is there another way?

I got it from a russian website called usbdev.ru. You can try the program without opening the case but I don't know what will happen if your mc is from a different chip manufacturer.
